So I decided to put my old PC back to work as a web server, or at least try. I am currently in a job where Im switching a company from some weird CMS to WordPress. I do not know any of the backend, another guy will be handling that. He and I have been collaborating to get this done. But I want to learn the backend for myself and to help the team.
Im wanting to simulate the sandbox development server we have at work. It runs Windows Server, 2012 I think, IIS and now PHP for WordPress.
I just installed Windows Server 2012 R2 at home and dont know the next step. Does anyone know any resources I could use on setting up a web server on Windows Server 2012 R2?
I havent configured anything yet but Im guessing there is configuring that needs to be done.
**UPDATE**

Pretty good walk through of setting up IIS to host websites... I think. Havent watched the whole thing yet. In the video he's using Windows Server 2008 though. =/ Dont know how much that matters.
